JACQUES LACAN ECRITS > *The Truth of Psychology and the Psychology of Truth* 79 > *Discussion of the Objective Value of the Experience*
Theoretical move: Lacan argues that psychoanalytic experience, far from being disqualified by its intersubjective, non-objective structure, reveals a deeper epistemological point: that human knowledge is constitutively identificatory and that any demand to eliminate anthropomorphism from an anthropology misrecognizes its proper object—man's nature is his relationship to man (the semblable).
These relations can be contrasted with the relations that constitute knowledge, in the narrow sense of the term, as relations of connaturality: I mean to evoke with this term their homology to more immediate, global, and adapted forms that characterize, on the whole, animals' psychical relations with their natural environment
